[Folami David]

Tottenham Hotspur and Everton prevented each other from climbing to second place in the Premier League table after an open- ended 0-0 draw at Goodison Park on Sunday.
.
Tottenham had the better of the first half, with Everton creating more clear-cut chances in the second, while each team had a penalty claim rejected either side of halftime.
.
A head injury to Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, who managed to complete the game, yielded nine minutes of stoppage time, but neither side was able to land a knockout punch.
.
"The result is fair and with a bit more luck, we could have gone ahead in the first half," said Spurs manager Andre Villas-Boas, who revealed that Lloris had momentarily lost consciousness.
.
"It was a good point in the end. We could have gone second but, considering Everton's aspirations, it was important to get a point."
.
The point was enough to take Tottenham into the top four, level on points with Chelsea and Liverpool and five points below leaders Arsenal, while Everton remain in seventh place, albeit only a point behind Spurs.

The game would've been more interesting if goals were scored. I was really expecting at least one goal in the game!
